Here are a few of the most popular genres in the UK.
Fantasy
UK has always been famous for stories of magic and wizardry. There are strong cultural memories of the ancestors who built Stonehenge and ruled the country before the arrival of the Romans. Shakespeare wrote a fantastical play: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, for example. Frankston was born when the English poet Lord Byron invited Mary Shelley and others to create a horror story when holidaying in Geneva. The tradition of British fantasy is still alive and kicking, Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling is just one example.
Chick lit
Chick lit refers to books that are written about and for modern women. The most famous example is probably Bridget Jones’s Diary by the British author Helen Fielding. Titles in this genre are usually about complicated love lives, modem working life and trying to remain healthy. These books usually contain humor or a “feel good” factor. In many ways they represent escapist fantasy, but they are popular because they deal with day-to-day topics.
Crime
The UK is known for its detective fiction and modem mysteries. One of the most famous British authors in this genre is of course Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who started the Sherlock Holmes stories in 1887. The characters in the fiction are still popular on television and in film. There are many contemporary popular British authors of crime fiction: P. D James, Ian Rankin, Colin Dexter.
Celebrity autobiographies
It seems that every minor celebrity(famous person)has written a book these days. They’re not really serious authors and simply cashing in on their ‘15 minutes’ of fame. Many of the books are ‘kiss and tell’ .They are of interest to readers only because of the secrets they reveal about other famous people. This genre is popular because the celebrity culture is well developed in the UK.
以下是英国最受欢迎的几款游戏。
幻想
英国一直以魔法和巫术故事而闻名。在罗马人到来之前,建造巨石阵并统治这个国家的祖先留下了强烈的文化记忆。例如,莎士比亚写了一部奇幻剧:《仲夏夜之梦》。弗兰克斯顿出生时,英国诗人拜伦勋爵在日内瓦度假时邀请玛丽·雪莱等人创作了一个恐怖故事。英国奇幻小说的传统依然生机勃勃,j.k.罗琳的《哈利波特》就是一个例子。
畅销小说
Chick lit指的是为现代女性写的书。最著名的例子可能是英国作家海伦·菲尔丁的《bj单身日记》。这种类型的游戏通常是关于复杂的爱情生活,现代的工作生活和努力保持健康。这些书通常包含幽默或“感觉良好”的因素。在许多方面,它们代表了逃避现实的幻想,但它们很受欢迎,因为它们涉及日常话题。
犯罪
英国以侦探小说和现代悬疑小说而闻名。英国最著名的福尔摩斯作家之一当然是阿瑟·柯南·道尔爵士,他于1887年开始创作福尔摩斯故事。小说中的人物在电视和电影中仍然很受欢迎。当代英国有许多流行的犯罪小说作家:p·D·詹姆斯、伊恩·兰金、科林·德克斯特。
名人自传
现在似乎每个小有名气的人都写了一本书。他们并不是真正的严肃作家,只是利用他们“15分钟”的成名来赚钱。这些书中有很多都是“亲吻和诉说”,读者对它们感兴趣只是因为它们揭露了其他名人的秘密。这种类型的流行是因为名人文化在英国很发达。
